Description
Book SynopsisThere are probably few concepts less understood, more cursed and blamed for everything imaginable, and yet perhaps result in so many outstanding developments as globalisation. Globalisation is the process of denationalisation of markets, politics and legal systems (i.e. the rise of the so-called global economy). The consequences of this political and economic restructuring on local economies, human welfare and environment are the subject of vigorous debate among businesses of all sizes, various international organisations, governmental institutions and the academic world. This book gathers the book and journal literature on this controversial subject and presents it under the categories of: General, Globalisation and Society, Globalisation, Economics and Trade, Globalisation and Politics, Globalisation and Business, Globalisation and Technology, and Globalisation and the Environment. Additional access is provided by author, subject and title indexes.
